Required Traits
Hi there, and welcome to the wiki! :o) In case you haven't discovered it yet, there is a page Required Traits, which summarizes all missions with locked nodes. It's still incomplete (E5-E7 and CT are missing), so feel free to expand it ;-) It's also supposed to list all crew that can manage to unlock a node up to a specific level, but there aren't many entries for that so far. Note that this info on the main Missions page might very well be outdated, as I don't believe it's consistently updated when new crew arrives. There may not even all locked nodes listed there. Also note that on each traits page (for example, Doctor) there can be infos found concerning locked nodes: Cheers! --Crunch (talk) 09:11, 4 October 2016 (CDT)
 * The "It is required for:" is manually added, and matches the Required Traits listing (which also means it's currently incomplete as well...).
 * The "It is recommended for:" is also manually created, and is taken from the traits listed for each mission. However, it's currently not actively maintained, I think, as this process was (partially) automated (see the next two entries in this list).
 * Missions with locked nodes are automatically listed in the category listing of each trait, and are sorted under "!". (I fear this fact isn't documented anywhere so far). In theory, all locked nodes from all mission pages should be present, but I haven't checked (it requires the use of a small template in the mission walkthroughs, which might or might not have been used consistently).
 * Missions with suggested traits (=giving a bonus) are also automatically sorted under "*". However, they cannot show the associated skill, so this might be a reason to keep maintaining the manual list. Also, Missions can't appear twice, i.e., "A Father Figure" is already listed under "!", although it should also be under "*".
 * My wiki skills are rusty, so I appreciate the greeting and links! I'll take a look and see what I can do. I am up to Episode 7 as a F2P, so the wiki has become a very valuable tool. --Dorian (talk) 19:36, 4 October 2016 (CDT)
 * Just a note to say that I have made some additions to the Required Traits page. I'd love your feedback on the latest version. My skill with wikitables is rudimentary - does this wiki support any filters or more advanced sorting? --Dorian (talk) 23:12, 19 October 2016 (CDT)
